Additive and Synergistic Growth-inhibiting Properties of the Canaline-Urea Cycle Amino Acids.

چکیده
Growth studies with Lemna minor revealed the additive and synergistic growth-inhibiting properties of the canaline-urea cycle amino acids. Simultaneous canavanine and canaline treatment caused an additive reduction in frond production. Ureidohomoserine interacted with canaline or canavanine to affect synergistically L. minor growth by enhancing individual canavanine or canaline toxicity and increasing the additive growth reduction caused by canavanine plus canaline. The ornithineurea cycle amino acids effectively counteracted both the additive and synergistic growth-inhibiting properties of the canaline-urea cycle compounds.

l-Canavanine Metabolism in Jack Bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. (Leguminosae).
l-Canavanine, a highly toxic arginine antimetabolite, is the principal nonprotein amino acid of many leguminous plants. Labeled-precursor feeding studies, conducted primarily with [(14)C]carbamoyl phosphate, and utilization of the seedlings of jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC. (Leguminosae), have provided evidence for l-canavanine biosynthesis from l-canaline via O-ureido-l-homoserine. T...
متن کاملComparison of the Effect of Amino Acids and Their Derivatives on the Growth of Some Dermatophytes: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aims: Amino acids have different effects on the growth of some dermatophytes. Some may increase whereas others maydecrease their growth. The concentration of some amino acids is also an important factor for their effects. Materials and Methods: To investigate the effects of L-amino acids on the growth of six species of dermatophytes including Epidermophyton floccosum, Microspor...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition of Neurospora by canavanine, and its reversal.
Canavanine, an amino acid from jack beans, was discovered by Kitagawa and coworkers in 1929 (1, 2). The substance is not combined in the proteins of the seed, but occurs in the free state, and makes up 2.5 per cent of the dry weight of jack beans (3). In a series of papers available to the authors for the most part in abstract only, the Japanese workers have reported extensive investigations in...

متن کاملInvestigations of Canavanine Biochemistry in the Jack Bean Plant, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC: II. Canavanine Biosynthesis in the Developing Plant.
The canavanine content of developing leaves of jack bean, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC., increases during leaf development. The leaf possesses the enzymes required for synthesizing canavanine by a cyclic series of reactions analogous to the ornithine-urea cycle. This reaction series involves the sequential formation of canaline, O-ureidohomoserine, and canavaninosuccinic acid.
